Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A mill for pulverizing rock and other material.  The mill includes a series of rings each having nine flat faces extending around the interior surface of the ring.  The rings are arranged in a vertical column.  A baffle plate possessing a central aperture is disposed between each pair of adjacent rings.  A vertically extending axle extends through each of the central apertures of the baffles.  A rotor is disposed between each pair of adjacent baffles  and is mounted on the axle for concurrent rotation therewith.  The periphery of each rotor possesses a plurality of curved blades so that when the axle is rotated, the rotor creates a suction force, which hurls the rocks forcibly toward the flat surfaces of the rings.  Some of the rocks ricochet off the flat surfaces and collide into the rocks being hurled toward the flat surfaces, which collision causes the rocks to break apart. The rocks are delivered into the top of the mill, are hurled by the top-most rotor toward the faces of a ring, pass through the central aperture of the lower, adjacent baffle plate, are hurled by the next lower rotor toward the faces of the next lower ring, etc. in continuous operation until the rocks are disintegrated to the desired particle size.

Abstract: In a synchronized digital horizontal deflection system operating at 2xf<sub>H</sub>, a first word (HDPW) is produced that is indicative of the length of one-half the period H between f<sub>H</sub> rate horizontal sync pulses (Hs). A first f<sub>H</sub> rate signal (CMa) that is synchronized to the horizontal sync pulses (Hs) is generated. The first f<sub>H</sub> rate signal (CMa) is time shifted by one-half of the period H, in accordance with the first word (HDPW) to produce a second f<sub>H</sub> rate signal (CMb). The first (CMa) and second (CMb) signals are multiplexed (in 40) for generating a horizontal deflection control signal (CMa, CMb) at 2xf<sub>H</sub> rate that controls the retrace interval timing in a deflection circuit output stage (41).
